My Grilled Pizza: Spicy Beef Kale Sizzle Recipe

Updated: Aug 20


If you’re anything like me, you love shaking things up in the kitchen, especially when it comes to pizza night. That’s exactly what led to the creation of the "Spicy Beef Kale Sizzle" pizza.


It’s a step away from the ordinary, bringing some heat to the table with a mix of savory beef, spicy chilies, and fresh kale—all piled on a smoky, grilled crust that’s just irresistibly crispy.

Here’s how it goes: start with your dough, giving it a nice brush with sesame oil before it hits the griddle. This isn't just for flavor—it helps get that perfect char we’re after. Once you flip it, the fun begins.


Layer on provolone and pecorino for that melty cheese goodness, then top it with the beef and a handful of red chilies for a little kick. Finish it off with fresh kale for a crisp contrast that makes all the other flavors pop.
